PrintWhich films that are nominated for Best Picture have you seen and would recommend?
The Artist
The Descendents
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
The Help
Hugo
Midnight in Paris
Moneyball
Tree of Life
War Horse
Personally, I've only seen Tree of Life, though Moneyball and Midnight in Paris are in the queue. Tree of Life is heiled as a transcendental piece of work, or as a pretentious piece of dog crap, depending on who you ask. Definitely can understand where both sides come from. It isn't everyone's cup of tea.
Alternate topic:
Unique sleeping habits.
I tend to sleep like a rock, still all night. If this bed were inverted, I could sleep on it just fine.

I have not seen one movie on that list.
And I think Moneyball is the only one I’m interested in watching.

Moneyball is gangster.
I don’t care if there are some historical liberties, it’s a good film

I’ve made it a priority to see at least most of the nominated movies – this year I’ve only seen Moneyball, so I’ve got to get it together!

Definitely true.
I don’t turn down biscuits when they are offered, but I prefer to prepare fish tacos for my wife.

If you're talking to a Brit
biscuits are cookies I think. So biscuits and a beer might be just fine. But biscuits and gravy …ewwww

I tried sending my wife a suggestive text message last night
It went like this:
“I’m interested in desert. Something I can tease my senses with before I dive in.”
She calls me up and asks me what kind of desert I wanted. I think I was being too subtle.

You just need to understand one thing...
It can’t be the woman’s fault.
If there is a miscommunication, it is always because the man misspelled a word, or misplaced a comma. She is not ever wrong.

Although I enjoyed Moneyball
it’s just not Oscar worthy.
Of the four I’ve seen (The Descendants, Moneyball, Midnight in Paris and The Help), I’d give The Help the nod. Still plan to see War Horse and Hugo before the Oscars and probably EL&IC after.
"When I began playing the game, baseball was about as gentlemanly as a kick in the crotch." - Ty Cobb
I agree
I really enjoyed Moneyball as a fan of baseball and a fan of the book, but honestly it got nominated on the pedigree of Miller, Zaillian and Sorkin (it seems everything Sorkin touches turns to gold… except Studio 60 bahaha). Which is interesting because, save for one scene, it was very un-Sorkin.

I've see War Horse
That’s it. So I can’t compare it to anything else. I enjoyed it. It was interesting. I’m dismayed that “Drive” was left off. No seriously.
I have see the previews and some snippets of “EL/IC” and for the first time in my life I do not want to see a Tom Hanks movie. Why? Because from what I saw I find the child actor “Extremely Annoying and Incredibly Grating”. No offense as I’m sure he’s a fine young man.

“Extremely Loud…” should have just been called “Did We Wait Long Enough So That It’s OK To Exploit 9/11?”

I'm disappointed that 50/50 didn't make the list.
It was really well made, and for the fact that some of the parts were kind of juvenile it dealt with a really relevant subject in a way that was easy to digest.

The only 9/11 film that I thought got it right
was “United93”. That was a terrific movie. IMO
“World Trade Center” could have been so much better.

You would think
Although sometimes a great film doesn’t have great direction, the acting or the script carries it. But going from the reverse route, yes, you’d think the nominees for director would have to be for picture.

I liked the book
there’s kind of a backlash against Jonathan Safran Foer but I thought it was good. The thing is, in the book the kid is borderline autistic, and so much of what happens is inside his head. Can’t do that for a movie so they made him more precociuos. I have no desire to see it.

I just caught up on Mad Men
I LOVED the middle of Season 4, but it felt like it kinda lost focus for the final couple of episodes. I think Breaking Bad is better, but because of the premise – its much easier to make the concept of BB exciting and enthralling. Mad Men is better executed, but less accessible.

I find their premises equally interesting, but find Breaking Bad to be the better executed show.

I think
There are times when Mad Men is too… soap opera-y I guess. The actual theme of the winds of change slowly wearing on each of the individual characters (as well as the universe of the show in general) is fascinating, and I suppose when the show’s focus more on that and less on the individual interactions between the characters, it’s better than BB.
I think Breaking Bad is certainly more consistent, but there are individual episodes of Mad Men that are better (from an artistic standpoint, not a tension/excitement standpoint) than their BB counterparts. IDK if I’m making any sense – it makes sense in my head.

That's because Mad Men is a soap opera.

Obviously there are referential aspects to it, but it’s got this fantastic flair of Greek Tragedy – you can flip open your textbook and note the small things that are going on in the show… you KNOW what events are going to be rocking the universe of the characters, the fun of the show is how they’ll be impacted.

Yes
But I think the day-to-day interactions in Breaking Bad are (probably by design) more pivotal to the big scheme of things – in BB every action is subject to consequences, whereas in Mad Men, the consequences seem much less tied to any individual action. The storm in BB is created by Walter, Jessie and friends, whereas the storm in MM is imposed on Don, Joan and crew by the outside world – there’s just a disconnect there. The more i think about it, it’s less a matter of one is better than the other, they’re just fundamentally different.

The hills and rivers make it that way.
My parents grew up there. They said in the 50s and 60s it was terrible because of the pollution. This is the impression that most people have. But with all of the mills closing in the 70s, the city has cleaned up wonderfully.
If you can plan a trip around July 4 or the Regatta, go up to Mt. Washington to watch the fireworks. There’s nothing like that anywhere. They shoot them up from the river, so, if you’re up on Mt. Washington, they’re at eye level.

I also saw The Muppets,
which I found to be mildly entertaining though it had very little to do with what I remember as the Muppets.

It was clever.
But I couldn’t help thinking that Jim Henson would not have appreciated the story. I was a huge fan of the original Muppet Show though.

Three years after I was.
I’ve seen barely any Muppet stuff overall, but I did watch the first three seasons of The Muppet Show last year.

I have not seen a single one of those films.
Would like to see The Help and The Artist, but that’s about it.
OT: Biondino, to answer your question from yesterday’s OT thread, if you go to the Archives link at the top of the page, I think you’ll find what you are looking for. That’s pretty much the easiest way to see what recent topics have unread posts without scrolling all down the front page, and it includes things like OT threads that are hidden.
Also, I did not make it to the next round of interviews for the job. Oh well. I guess that would have been too easy.
Sorry to hear that Holly
something better will be around the bend :)

My main problem now is that I'm just not finding many job listings for what I want to do
or even all that close to it. I have no idea what else I would want to or be qualified to do.
I know how you feel.
I keep thinking maybe it’s time to try something new. But it’s hard. to figure out what that new thing might be. Any thought in trying to go into copywriting or something in advertising?

I see tons of technical writing jobs all the time.
But even that’s pretty specialized and I think I would need to get some additional education before that was even an option.
Copywriting or advertising, I don’t know. It would may be something to break into as a copyeditor/proofreader.
Our field is dying.
I’m pretty sure I’ve got about 10 months left here myself.

Yeah, it sucks.
Because I really do enjoy it. There just aren’t that many positions (and getting less as products change/morph), and relatively low turnover.
There are jobs if you want to move to NYC or Boston.
Besides that, it’s slim pickin’s. You may want to look at development houses and production houses. They tend to be hiring more frequently and love to get people from the publishers when they can. They’re also in better locations.

OT: I'm kind of tired of eating at home.
I think I might go out. Of course, that would also require me to not still be wearing pajamas.
According to whom?
I totally go out in PJ pants…of course, if I went out in what I actually sleep in…
